All Ubuntu language settings can be used, this means all common languages are
available. The unit can be localised to your local laguage very good.

- what do I need to start with ?

The Sharp Netwalker comes with all you need to start: power supply, battery,
stylus. Units purchased from Pulster.de have a Euro-power adapter and a english
quickstart-guide included. Sharp original pack does not include: USB cable,
CDROMS, printed manual. The PC-T1 also has a pouch case included.

- charging options ?

The mains power supply has an input of 100-240V, which means worldwide use.
The power cord with Japanese plugs can easily replaced with a European one (Z1)
resp. an adapter can be used (T1). We already include a european cable/adapter
for free. The power adapter from Z1/T1 can not be exchanged (different voltage
and different plugs).

- colour options ?

Netwalker PC-Z1-W/B/R = white/black/red and PC-T1-B/S = black/silver. In general
we prefer black units, however the black Netwalker is quite a bit tricky with
fingertips. This time our favourite color option is red. It's far from sissy,
but a classy eye-catcher, check real
life picture (link).

F.A.Q. - for Netwalker users:

- Where to download Updates ?

Please click here: Sharp
Japan Software Downloads. You will find a Flash Player, Ebook reader software
and more. Extract archive file and click on install.sh. With the Adope Flash
player you have a YouTube-viewer in your pocket now.

Sharp compiled a list of working accessories
here (link). It states that these external USB devices can be used: harddrives
(not bus powered), DVD-drives, wireless router, mouse, keyboard, headset and
memory sticks. Besides David Samblas from Tuxbrain.com explain in this How-To
(link) how to attach a external monitor/projector, so you can use your Netwalker
for presentations !
Users report to work: cameras Canon EOS400D, Powershot S50. Zaurus C1000 and
Openmoko as USB-network-client, USB stereo headset Logitech PC960.

- Is the battery replaceable ?

The
battery is not removeable on Z1 and can not be changed by the user (for this
Sharp Japan is offering a service, opening the unit means loss of warranty for
Sharp Japan). The T1 uses a 2300mAh removable battery, wich can be replaced
from the user easily with product code EA-BL14.

- Input of special characters ?

Please create file ".Xmodmap" in your home-directory like this (example
adds German 'Umlaute"):

After reboot, confirm startup of this keymap, otherwise start it manualy: xmodmap
.XmodmapNow you can enter special characters using the Japanese key (bottom row
4th key from left, next to 'Alt") + character key.
